Mt Pleasant Driving Tour!

TOUR STOPS

1-Mt Pleasant Memorial Park
This is an amazing pier that walks out beside, and in the shadow, of the Ravenel Bridge. While you are here step into the Visitor’s Center for visitor guides and maps! Definitely walk out to the pier. Pick your times. Sunsets are nice! You’ll also want to park here if you plan to walk the big bridge. It’s coming next.
2-Walking the Ravenel Bridge
Need to get your steps in? Want to catch a nice breeze, or just enjoy a big view of Charleston? Walking the bridge is a crowd favorite here. It’s not for the faint of heart, but the incline is also pretty manageable. You’ll park right underneath, and follow the path upwards. Seize the day!
3-Patriots Point and USS Yorktown
The Yorktown is a great way to spend time here in Mt Pleasant, even on a rainy day! It was moved here in the late 70s, and has been a popular place to learn about the greatest generation since then. Lots to see and do, and if you have kids with lots of extra energy, historically (notice the pun), this has been a great choice!
4-Shem Creek Board Walk
Shem Creek is a crowd favorite for many reasons! It has a 300 foot pier that leads to the most stunning views of the harbor. It’s a great place to get close to the marshes of the lowcountry, and there is a nice variety of seafood restaurants to go and enjoy a fresh meal.
